What Cancer Reveals About the Limits of Darwinian Evolutionary Processes

We all know people who have suffered with cancer. It's a major affliction of our modern world and many scientists are studying it closely to find a cure. Karl Krueger is one such scientist who has spent much of his career in cancer research. Today, host Casey Luskin speaks with Krueger about his work and what cancer can teach us about the limits of Darwinian processes. In his tenure at the National Cancer Institute, Krueger had a front-row seat to cancer research progress. After reviewing countless research projects and mountains of data, Krueger learned that cancer doesn't create new features at the molecular leveI, it degrades them. And breakage of aboriginal design is a hallmark of Darwinian processes. Krueger explains in this illuminating discussion.

From Fantastic Four to First Causes: Why Science Has Eclipsed Darwin

If you noticed a copy of Charles Darwin’s famous nineteenth-century volume On The Origin of Species in someone's house, what would you think? Perhaps they’re committed materialists. Perhaps they simply admire Darwin’s work as a naturalist. Or perhaps they keep it around as a cautionary tale about the dangers of scientific hubris. Either way, you’d want to consider whether their experiences of the world around them matched their scientific worldview. Today on ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid explores the tenets of scientific materialism to see if they match our observations of the world around us. McDiarmid also shares a clip from Dr. Stephen Meyer as he highlights just one of the scientific discoveries of the last century showing that the 19th century science that produced today's scientific atheism has been eclipsed.

David Berlinski Challenges Prevailing Beliefs in Modern Biology and Physics

On today’s ID the Future, Science After Babel author David Berlinski continues discussing his newly released book from Discovery Institute Press. In this conversation with host Andrew McDiarmid, Berlinski explores a chicken-and-egg problem facing origin-of-life research, a blindness afflicting some evolutionists focused on human origins, and the mystery of why science almost flowered in ancient Greece, early Medieval China, and in the Muslim-Arab Medieval Empire, but did not, having to await the scientific revolution that swept through Europe beginning in the sixteenth century.

After a successful event in Spokane, we are excited to announce that Intelligent Design Education Day is coming to Tacoma, Washington! The theme — Creepy Crawly Complexity — returns this fall, inviting students to explore the incredible world of “creepy crawlies,” with special presentations and videos on insects and spiders (from the phylum Arthropoda), earthworms (Annelida), and roundworms (Nematoda). While learning about the complexity and diversity of these fascinating creatures, we’ll consider important questions like… Why are creepy crawlies so abundant and diverse? Where did they all come from? What does it take to design and build a “simple” worm? What is the implication of finding unique code in the genome of each type of creepy …
